docs(platform): mark DGX Station tested with limitations

[miyoungc]

Summary

Physical validation on one DGX Station GB300 now covers generic Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64, stock DGX OS 7.5.0, the April 2026 NVIDIA Colossus BaseOS profile, and the June 2026 NVIDIA AI Developer Tools profile, but the platform matrix still classified all Station configurations as Deferred.
This change sets the platform status to Tested with limitations and states that dual-Station configurations and dedicated CI coverage remain pending.

Related Issue

Fixes #6951.

Changes

• Set the DGX OS (Station) matrix entry to caveated while keeping ci_tested false.
• Record the four qualified single-Station profiles, distinguish clean-host end-to-end results from Station Express validation, and preserve the unvalidated dual-Station boundary in generated and hand-written guidance.
• Update the installer disclosure and focused regression checks to use the same platform-status contract.
• Repin the immutable DGX Station starter-prompt asset so copied installation guidance uses the same status.
• Clarify that v0.0.83 restored the Station express-install path without changing the status that applied to that release.

Type of Change

• Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
• Code change with doc updates
• Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
• Doc only (includes code sample changes)

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

• Tested on DGX Station
• Detailed DGX OS 7.5.0 run tested commit: 7a7414b3d80a9cb38257a276cd926fd48a93ec0e
• Station profiles/scenarios: Generic Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64, stock DGX OS 7.5.0, April 2026 NVIDIA Colossus BaseOS, and June 2026 NVIDIA AI Developer Tools on one physical DGX Station GB300.
• Result: Clean-host end-to-end validation passed on generic Ubuntu and Colossus BaseOS. Stock DGX OS and AI Developer Tools completed physical Station Express validation. The detailed DGX OS run exited 0 with released OpenShell 0.0.85, local Nemotron Ultra, sandbox CUDA, bounded sysfs policy, and Hermes one-shot and TUI file-tool tasks.

• Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not run; focused generator, installer-disclosure, and documentation-contract tests cover this change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DGX Station platform, provider, onboarding, and installer guidance now describe tested-with-limitations coverage for one qualifying GB300, while documenting that dual-Station configurations remain unvalidated and lack dedicated CI coverage. Prompt assets and tests were synchronized with the revised wording.

Changes

DGX Station qualification messaging

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Qualification matrix and provider status ci/platform-matrix.json, docs/reference/platform-support.mdx, docs/inference/*	Platform and managed-vLLM records update DGX Station status and document single-GB300 qualification, dual-Station non-validation, and physical-validation details.
Onboarding and release guidance docs/changelog/..., docs/get-started/*, docs/resources/prompt-assets/*, scripts/install.sh	Release, preparation, quickstart, prompt, and express-install disclosures describe revised tested-with-limitations guidance and clarify dual-Station scope.
Prompt asset synchronization and validation docs/resources/starter-prompt.md, test/*	Platform prompt links, pinned revision and digest values, installer assertions, and canonical documentation checks are updated for the revised wording.

Advisor follow-up for head da664fc2c05cb5473ac786cf1f4a18842196c407:

• PRA-1 is a false positive. The pinned revision ebf29b024c7a24e69ab8386b68e426d31a4c6821 is the content commit that contains the updated DGX Station prompt asset. The pinned and current asset resolve to the same Git blob, 5f8a6cbfdae4a1cb50b7f261eaaf2f875a80cf23, and test/starter-prompt-docs.test.ts byte-compares the local asset with that pinned blob. The later commits repin the asset and add documentation-contract assertions; they do not change the asset content.
• PRA-2 is resolved by the updated maintainer decision: docs: reconcile DGX Station GB300 express setup with deferred support status #6951 (comment). It explicitly accepts the developer's four-profile validation record and supersedes the earlier stock-DGX-OS-only boundary for those exact profiles.

[senthilr-nv]

Reviewed the accepted #6951 scope, documentation contracts, installer disclosure, immutable prompt-asset pin, focused tests, and current CI. The four qualified Station profiles and remaining dual-Station/dedicated-CI limitations are stated consistently. No blocking findings. This can be merged once main is stable.
